German Nutcracker: Vintage Prussian King

7900

Allow us to introduce King Nussknacker of Prussia: a majestic classic. He is a vintage German nutcracker––in fact, the "Expertic" label on the bottom reads Made in German Democratic Republic, so this piece is a souvenir of pre-unified Germany days. Hand carved from wood and painted by artisans in Germany's Erzgebirge Mountains, where wooden nutcrackers first originated. He comes in his original vintage box–the box is not necessarily pretty, but it is original, so we feel it may carry some importance. King Nussnacker stands about 15" tall, and he can take on just about any nut that comes his way. Handmade in Germany.
